Two-Minute Management

Lesson 1

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him: “Can I also sit like you and do nothing?” The eagle answered: “Sure, why not.” So the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson-To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very, very high up.

Lesson 2

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of the tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?’ replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch on the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fortnight, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shoot him out of the tree.

Management Lesson-Bull shit might get you on the top but it won’t keep you there.

Lesson 3

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realise how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out. He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for the joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate and discovered the bird under the pile of the cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson    

1.       Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

2.       Not everyone who get you out of shit is friend.

3.       And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends your two minutes management course.
